Dear friends and family:
Today is our annual State of the Church address. Over the many years of leading Skyway Church I found that when told people our annual business meeting was going to take place many chose to stay away. I then learned how to take this time as an opportunity to share my vision for our future and it changed into one of the best Sunday’s of the year. As we look back at 2009 our congregational finances were affected as our families were affected. We stayed in faith and moved forward beyond our struggles. As we look forward into 2010, I am committing to provide training and prayer to help people prepare for a new and different economy. We are opening new Skyway House Churches throughout Arizona as well as expanding our WLI training to other cities in Arizona and other states in the USA. Today we will recognize our new chaplains who have spent the last two years in training for us to license them into ministry. I look at the current world struggles as a pruning time. When you prune, you prepare to have greater fruitfulness in your life. Even though our finances were cut back we have not stopped preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. We have expanded to reach over 26 nations, the most ever! We have not stopped preparing for the foundation for a great future; we are making it deeper and larger than ever before. All of this is preparing us for great multiplication in the next decade. God promises us a great and glorious future through Jesus Christ. I ask every member to support this vision with prayer, participation and finances as we move into our new decade together. – Pastor Greg
